It was announced in March 2007 that the game would be released simultaneously for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and later PC. It is being developed by Capcom Production Studio 4, the producers of Resident Evil 4 and the original Devil May Cry.

In the game, the player controls both Nero, a new character, and Dante while they fight demons using firearms and melee weapons in a survival horror setting. Other characters include new appearances Kyrie, Sanctus, Credo, Gloria, and Agnus, and returning characters Lady and Trish.

The game begins with Nero running to a church for the Order, late for a ceremony after being attacked by demons. He arrives as Kyrie ends her song, but the ceremony is interrupted when Dante bursts through a window and seemingly kills Sanctus, the leader of the Order, and his bodyguards. Nero then attacks him, and they fight to a standstill. However, Dante escapes and reveals to Nero that the soldiers are actually demons. An invasion of demons then falls upon Fortuna, and Nero is ordered to pursue Dante while Credo evacuates the populace. Nero follows Dante throughout Fortuna while they both fight the fiery centaur demon Berial, the plant demoness Echidna, and the icy toad demons Bael and Dagon. he eventually makes his way to Agnus' reasearch laboratory and is heavily wounded by his Angels and Agnus himself. However, Nero's true, demonic power awakens, calling Yamato to him and sending a large shockwave throughout the area, forcing Agnus to show his demonic "reborn" form, and flying off to headquarters to alert them of his actions. Shortly before this, Sanctus had been brought back from the dead. Nero then heads to headquarters and encounters Credo who reveals his "reborn" appearance and fights Nero. Credo is soundly defeated. However, Kyrie arrives and sees Nero's arm and her brother defeated. She then assumes that Nero has abused somesort of demonic power and attacked her brother. While Neor tries to reassure her, Agnus shows up and hold Kyrie hostage. While Credo tries to limp over to save his sister, Agnus transforms and flies away, and Nero persues him. He finally catches up inside the castle and finds Kyrie in a containment field of some sort. Agnus appears and fights Nero but is defeated, his death only interupted by the apperance of his minions and their distracting nero long enough for Sanctus to tell Agnus to escape with Kyrie to prepare for "activation". Nero fends off the demons and jumps after Agnus and Kyrie, but is only able to grab her necklace, his gift to her. As nero continues into the castle, he meets up with Dante yet again, but Dante demands Yamato back, saying it was his brother's and that it needs to be kept in the family. Of course, Nero refuses and fights dante instead, ending in another stalemate. After Nero calms down, Dante allows him to keep the sword and tells him to go. Gloria shows up and reveals herself to be Trish in disguise. She then says that things are about to get "ugly". Nero arrives at the Savior about to be activated by Sanctus, who reveals his plan and shows that Kyrie is being absorbed into the Savior. Nero attacks but is stopped by the Savior. Sanctus then reveals that Nero has the blood of Sparda He then takes the Yamato. Credo shows up and delays Sanctus' killing Nero, but is stabbed by the Yamato and falls, only to be caught by Dante, who tells Nero to retreive the sword before he dies or else he'll be "pissed", but Nero is absorbed into the Savior, but before he is, he tells Dante to "come and get it", flipping him the bird as he sinks into the Savior. Credo, in his dying last request, asks Dante to save Kyrie and Nero.Dante is forced to fight Berial, Echidna, and Bael.
